I really dislike this part. It is just too subtle assumption. We can
safely store the node id into memory_block and push it down the way to
online. Or am I missing something?
Btw. the rest of the series seem good as is so I would go with it and
keep this last patch aparat and make sure to do it properly rather than
add more hacks.
